Bernard Tapie's Poker Ventures and WPT Schedule Announced
Bernard Tapie, a prominent figure in the poker world, announced the International Stadiums Poker Tour in October 2011. The inaugural event, initially planned for Wembley, has faced several delays and is now scheduled for May 2013.
The World Poker Tour (WPT) has released its 2012 schedule, which includes exciting events across Europe. The WPT Spanish Championship has been discontinued, but Spain will host two editions of the WPT National Series: one in Madrid from June 28 to July 2, and another in Barcelona from October 25 to 29. Additional WPT events will take place in Paris, Malta, Copenhagen, Venice, and Magazan (Marruecos).
A legal case involving high-profile poker players, including Tobey Maguire, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Nick Cassavetes, has been settled out of court. The case, which involved clandestine poker games, will not proceed to trial as the parties have reached an economic agreement with the court.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
